BUGE PLANE CARRIER
NEW ENGINE IS BEING
BUILT SECRETLY.
Contains Platform on• Which
'the Fastest Machines Can
Alight. Safely.
The strides Great Britain is taking
Silaviation are evidenced by the con-
struction now under way of a giant air
engine said to be twice as powerful as
any in existence, and the development
tit a naval airplane carrier of a re-
volutionary character.
Teealeplane engine, which will•de-
velop 200 horsepower a cylinder, is
being built secretly on the outskirts of
London. Air Ministry officials are re-
ported to be confident that the new
ngine will make a transatlantic trip
n less than twenty-four hours a possi-
Witty.
Originated In Italy.
The principle be the new engine was
originated in Italy, but the British en-
gineere have evade improvements on
it. if fitted into a bombing machine of.
ordinary type the plane Would have an
effective radius of 3,000-m1.1es.. Yet it
ie asserted that this powerful engine is
no heavier than the average airplane
engine,
The decks of the new airplane car -
Here are free of obstructions, The fun-
nels are set on -the starboard side of
tire vessels, making it apear as if an
addition had been added to the vessels.
The two upper deckle are Connected by
huge lifts with the aerodrome deck,
while the lower ones are equipped as
workshop&• for making repairs. The fly-
ing deck alae is fitted with -a search-
light and a landing tower eo that the
planes can alight at night.
Hae Platform to Alight On.
The carrier is equipped with an in-
genious rotating endless platform for
the planes to land and get off. The
machine hops off In the opposite di-
rection to that in which the platform
rotates so that more speed can be at-
tained, By the use of this platform
the fastest plane can alight on the
deck of the airplane carrier, for a ma-
chine which is going three miles a
minute can be brought to a stop in a
space of not Blore than forty feet,
The fact is that though the British
are far behind France in the number
of planes they heave, they are devoting
great attention to designing and con-
structing huge and. powerful aircraft,
Among the "hush-hush" planes• being
constructed by the Air Ministry is a
machine capable of caxrying fifty sol-
diers through the air at a speed of 130
miles an hour.
Art by the Foot.
Hurry is not characteristic of the
present century alone; cur ancestors
were not always immune from the
habit, The Dutch artist Vanderstraa-
ten was a master in scheming out
short cuts and saving time.
Vanderstraaten had little difficulty,
it le said, in painting in a day thirty
landscapes the size of an ordinary
sheet of drawing paper. He would sur-
round himself 'with pots of paint, each
of which had its particular purpose—
one for the clouds, one for the grass,
one for the shadowy When he was
ready to begin painting he called to
his assistant, "Boy, a cloud!" and the
lad speedily brought the desired pot.
Vanderstraaten, with a thick brush,
quickly transferred the clouds to the
canvas. With the finishing strokes, he
called: "There are the clouds; bring
the grass!" And so it went, without
a momenta, waste of time, until the
thirty landscapes were finished.

TORTURING SCIATICA
A Nerve Trouble Due to a
Watery Condition of the Blood..
Fierce darting pains•. Pains like red
hot needles being driven through the
flesh --in the thigh, perhaps down the
leg to the angle—that's sciatica. None
but the victim can realize -the torture
of this trouble. But the sufferer treed
not grow discouraged; the trouble is
due to the fact that the nerved are
being starved by poor, watery blood,
and when the bloodis enriched the
pains of sciatica will disappear. As a
blood enricher and purifier no other
medicine can equal Dr. Williams? Pink
Piles. They bring to the'blood just the
! elements necessary to restore it to
Inerrant richness and redness. That is
why so many sufferers from sciatica,
and other formai of nerve trouble, have
I found relief. through taking these pills.
1 Mr. D. M. Anderson, Beachburg, Ont.,
tells what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have done for him as follows:—"Some
4 years ago I was badly afflicted with
sciatica. I could hardly walk and suf-
fered great pain when I did so. I went
Jr to a doctor, buthis medicine did not
seem to do nee any good, A Ivan who
Iwas working with me told me he had
once been like that and that Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills had made him all
right. I began to take them, continu-
ing to work. and the trouble disap-
peared, and I did not lose a day, al-
though sometimes I suffered terribly,
Later I had another attack, and again
the pills came to my relief. 'Now 1
take three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills every spring and fall, and I have
had no attack of the trouble since
that time."

i medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents

Don't Kill the Earthworm.
To rid soil of weeds a roller has
been invented into which a boiler
feeds steam, which, is injected into the
ground for several inches through
spikes.
It occurs to me that such a weed
treatment will do- a lot of harm by
killing worms. The part performed by
worms .in rendering the soil fertile is
not generally understood. Darwin ee-
1 timat'ed that worma, by swallowing
earth for the sake of the vegetable
matter it contains, and afterwards ex-
pelling it, bring to the surface as much
as ten tons of earth per annum on an
acre,
By boring, perforating and loosening
the soil, worms make it pervious to
rains and the fibres of plants. The
stalks of leaves, twigs, straws, etc.,
they draw into the soil' is no incon-
eriderable help. The cylindrical mass
of earth voided by earthworms (called
wortn-oasts) constitute one of the very
best manures for grain and grass. Let
alone, the worms throw these up in
countless numbers; travelers have
found them on lofty mountain heights,
notably in the Sikkim Mountains of
Northern India.
The earth without worms would
eventually become cold, hard and bar-
ren. This actually has occurred In sec-
tions where this worms have been
either accidentally or intentionally de-
stroyed, and the fertility of the soil
thus lost has been restored only when
the worms have again collected and
resumed their fertilizing work.—L. E.
Eubanks.

The oldest map in existence is a
piece of mosaic in a Byzantine church

Snrn:k F - es and Their •.Origin
BRENTWOOD.
Varlation--Brantwood,
Racial Origin English.
Source --A local name.
Those who are at all familiar with.
the so-called Scottish dialect should
have no great difficulty in penetrating
the ,original meaning of this surname.
The name, however, is not neces-
sarily Scottish. It is a facenot'gener-
asealey known that this se -called Scottish
. dialect ie by no means a dialect of
Ilingiish or in arty eenee a corruption of
Englishspeech, but lis in reality, a
fun -fledged tongue.. an itself, coming
down in a straight line :from the Anglo-
Saxon. and Danish topples, which were
spoken in the north of England and
-the Scottish) lowlands, pjrior to the
Norman invasion. It is -also a tongue
in which the Anglo-Saxon strain is
purer than in Moderns English, the
majority of. its words showing less
change from the old Anglo-Saxon spell-
ing and pronunciation.
Thus the Scottish word for "burned"
or ",burnt" is elosen to the old Anglo-
Saxon ebr'ennan" than is the modern'
English word. "And 'it is from .this
Word "branman' that the first 'element,
in thisfamily name comes. Brent-
wood simply rn•oana'"burntwood." The
principal place of teat nettle, however;
happellit to be in Essex, far from Scot
lead, and the explanation es that it re-
ceived its name before the Anglo-
Saxon form of the word changed.
. KERSTED.
Variation—Kiersted, Kjersted.
Racial Origin -Danish and English.
Source—A locality.
As an English product, this family
name traces back through the name
of a; place to the days when the hosts
of the Danes overran the entire north-
eastern section of England,
The eastern coast of North England
and, the Scottish Lowland& are marked
to -clay by many names of Danish origin,:
and there is no small proportion of
Danish blood in the people who have
dwelt in these sections for many cen-
turies, And, as might be expected, a
search of the records of the old towns
and parishes in these sectiorfs, brings
to light a fairly heavy proportion of
family names which trace either - di-
rectly or indirectly to Danish sources.
Iiiers•ted was a place name before it
was a family' name. Therefore it does
not necessarily indicate that those
who bear it have any Daniell blood in
their veins, though it is not unlikely
that they have. The place name is
taken from two leanish words, "ltie>'p•
and "sted," the former measling a
"place," "village" or "town,' literally
a place, where men dwell. "Habita-
tion' 'le probably the best word to ex-
press the meaning.

History of Lights.
Here are some interesting facts in
regard to the progress of lighting. The
earliest form of lighting was a wood
fire in a cave.
5000 B.C.—Torches or lighted splin-
ters• placed in holders of stone or clay,
300 B.C.—Lamps, made of brass or
bronze, became highly artistic.
50 B.C.—Romans used rushes soaked
in grease—forerunners of the candle.
800 A.D. — Phoenicians. introduced
candles In Constantinople.
400 to 1700 A.D.—The candle, tallow
or wax, vies with lamps and lanterns.
1700 Oil lamps, with wicks', began
to be used.
1780-011 lamps were equipped with
round wicks and glass chimney.
1800—Gas lighting perfected, but
candle still most universal light.
1850—Discovery of petroleum, revol-
utionizing oil lamp lighting.
1879—Edison, apostle of light, pro-
duces incandescent electric lamp.
1885—Auer Von Welsbach produced
incandescent gas mantle.
1895—Incandescent electric lights
made with carbon filament, in growing
use.
1922—Incandescent electric light, us-
ing Tungsten filament, in high state of
perfection.

NOTHING TO EQUAL
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Mrs. Georges Lefebvre, St.` aeon,
Que., writes: "I do not think there is
any other medicine to equal Baby's
Own Tablets for little ones. I have
used them for my baby and would use
nothing else." What Mrs. Lefebvre
says thousands of other mothers say.
They have found by trial that the Tab-
lets always do just what is claimed
for them. The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which regulate the
bowels and sweeten the stomach and
thus banish indigestion, constipation,
colds, colic, etc. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25 ets.

The eagle brooding on her nest,

No fortress facing north or south;
No "Bertha" lifting morbid mouth;
No frontier with police patrol;
Each city sees the other's soul.
The peace that for a hundred years
Has triumphed over all our fears
Shall cover for a thousand more

Republic and Dominion stand
As friend to friend, with heart and

Across the Border, to and fro,
Fond lovers and •their sweethearts

Not "Hate," but "song of love" is best;
All hail, Twin Cities of the "See,"
The world shaI1 go to school to'you!

An Arch of Triumph in

Preparations. are in an advanced

feats' of British arms in the Ypres
salient, according to the Ypres Times.
It is learned that agreement has been

scribed in the ceneetriee.
The arch was particularly designed
under the supervision of the cabinet
committee for battlefield '3nemorials,
and was not agreed -to until it satis-
fied them that it was a worthy memor
salfrom every point of view.. It is im-
possible to say, of course, when it is

ably take something like two years to.

The Cartoonist.
Seated on the deck of the ocean
lister, the cartoonist amused himself by
drawing pictures of the different pas-
sengers, A few months before he had
been employed on a Chicago news-
paper; now, a professional cartoonist
no Ionger, be was on .hie way to the
Phillippines, a missionary of the gos-
pel. His vision had been as swift as
it had been bright.
A number of notable people were
making the trip, and among them were
the captain of an American battleship
and three or four millionaires with'
their wives. One of the women, be-
coming enthusiastic over the cartoon-
ist's ability, asked him whether he
would draw a picture of her husband.
The cartoonist complied graciously,
and while he was at work the wife of
the captain watched with interest.
"Oh," she exclaimed at last, "I sup-
pose you are one of our great Ameri-
can artists on your way to the Philip-
pines• for new ideas! What a wonder-
ful tieing it is to be so gifted! I sup-
pose you make barrels• of money?"
"No, madam," the cartoonist replied,
"I am going to the Philippines as a
missionary. I have given up my career
as an artist."
The woman regarded him first in
astonishment, then with reproacb.
"The very idea!" she exclaimed. "To
think of a young man like you with all
of your ability throwing his life away
on a lost of worthless heathen. I can
hardly believe ydu'ro serious! Realty
you are joking, aren't you?"
Eight years passed, and the cartoon-
lst and hd.s. wife were sailing for home
on doctor's orders, for the climate had
proved too much for the woman. The
lives of both were wrapped up in their,
work; it was hard for them to leave
the natives, who had conte to depend
on them, but there was 110 help far it.
A great crowd of Filipinos came to
the dock 4o see the missionaries off.
Tears were running down the faces of
many of them. All were sad and made
no efforts to hide their feelings. As
the steamer pulled out thousands of
hands waved the missionaries geed -by.
The cartoonist and his wife stood
silent together on the deck; their eyes
were wet, and their throats .felt tight
and strange. If the captain's wife bad
witnessed that scene, would she have
said that the cartoonist's life was
wasted? -
What Music the Boys and
Girls Wanted to Study.
With the assistance of the Rotary
Club and other public-spirited bodies,
plans were made in a small city to give
the children of the masses instruction
in niusric at a nominal cost by means
of music classes in connection with
the sohsoois. A survey of several
schools revealed an interesting set of
desires: When asked the particular
kind of music study they would like to
take up the pupils in one school re-
ported as follows, according to a cor-
respondent in Musical America: -101
for vicilin, 58 for piano, 57 for singing,
32 for cornet, 11 for drums, 10 for man-
dolin, 8 for saxaphone, 2 for guitar; 2
for 'cello, 2 for clarinet, 2 for ukulele,
4 for trombone.
In, another school the pupils respond-
ed as foelows i-73 far violin, 47 for
piano, 32 for singing, 10 for drums 1
foe mandolin, . 10 for saxaphone, 1 for
guitar; 2 for banjo, 2 for clarinet, 1 for

1 for xylophone.
